Feeding the other : Whiteness, privilege, and neoliberal stigma in food pantries / by De Souza, Rebecca,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: neoliberal stigma, food pantries, and an unjust food system -- Key conceptual themes -- Voices of hunger: making the invisible visible -- The "good white women" at the Chum Food Shelf -- Spiritual entrepreneurs at Ruby's Pantry -- Cultures of suspicion: making visible the invisible -- Health citizens: choosing good food amid scarcity -- Conclusion: imagining a future for food pantries."In Feeding the Other, Rebecca De Souza argues that food pantries stigmatize their clients through a discourse that emphasizes hard work, self-help, and economic productivity rather than food justice and equity. De Souza describes this "framing, blaming, and shaming" as "neoliberal stigma" that recasts the structural issue of hunger as a problem for the individual hungry person. De Souza shows how neoliberal stigma plays out in practice through a comparative case analysis of two food pantries in Duluth, Minnesota. Doing so, she documents the seldom acknowledged voices, experiences, and realities of people living with hunger."--

Field instrumentation and measured response of the I-295 cable-stayed bridge / by Duemmel, Paul S.; Virginia Transportation Research Council.(CARDINAL)195142;
Includes bibliographical references.pt. 1. Field study of live load responses -- pt. 2. Field study of thermal responses.Final report.This first report describes the results of a field study of the live load responses of a segmentally constructed prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge. The main span of the test structure consists of twin box girders connected by delta frames. Known vehicular loadings were placed statically at various points along the bridge. Strains measured during this loading were compared with those obtained from a finite element model of the bridge. Strain trends predicted by the finite element model were in good agreement with the measured strain trends. Quantitative agreement was fair, at least in part because of the high stiffness of the bridge and the limitations on the magnitude of load that could be applied. The second report describes the results of a field study of the thermal responses of a cable-stayed bridge. Data were gathered from the I-295 James River Bridge, a precast segmental concrete bridge with a cable-stayed main span consisting of twin box girders connected by delta frames. The thermal gradient and associated thermal strains in the box girders and pylons were measured using an extensive array of thermocouples and strain-gaged reinforcing bars installed at selected locations in the main-span box girder and south pylon. The temperature and strain response data were compared with that predicted from detailed finite element models of the structure using both frame and plate elements. Comparison revealed a complex three-dimensional strain pattern dependent on the wind direction and the angle of solar incidence. Simplified beam element models were unable to predict many of the observed local variations in thermal strain, which are influenced by wind direction, solar heating direction, proximity to the web, and the existence of parapets monolithic with the deck. Three-dimensional finite element models appear to be more capable of predicting the kind of three-dimensional strains observed, but quantitative agreement with the observed thermal strains was limited at best.
